I received mine (Sky Blue) and I have to say that this is probably one of the most impressive collectible pieces I have ever had in my hand. Very, very well done Humble Bitcoiners! You can tell the amount of passion and love that has gone into this project and I just want to say THANK YOU for the opportunity to own one of these. Will definitely look forward to the auction Wink

Pics will be uploaded sometime through the week!

My Itokawa Timebank arrived today. Shipping was lightning fast! (fitting like the lightning from the item Tongue)

They look even better in real than in the photos - unfortunately, the quality does not come across so super there.
I'm glad to be one of the few owners. Smiley I will try to take some nice photos of them tomorrow in good light (daylight).

Is already known when the auctions for the last versions should take place?

Info to all people who reserved.

I fixed price yesterday (0.0375 Btc plus 0.003125 load value) when i sent the first Itokawa's out to Miner Jones and Sweden.

It's a little bit less than on reservation day and a bit more than this morning.

Just want that nobody pays more ore less Btc for it.

Hope i'll get all shipped this month. I'm working like crazy on it🥳

Thanks for your patience

Congratulations on this milestone.
Indeed; hard work, effort and love (next to the blood, sweat and tears).

If there is an Itokawa left, please reserve one for me. Buy or trade.
Looking forward to a road-trip and will pick up personally (+ drink a beer or two).

Thanks for showing the progress on the Itokawa's my friend.
Much appreciated.

Thanks Cygan, really appreciate your kind words.

As i said above. I'm just a servant to Bitcoin since 2018. On 1st place comes my family (wanna thank them here for their support)

On 2nd place when i open my eyes in the morning, there's Bitcoin.

I decided to do a time intense work to pay homage to Satoshi's long days and nights of coding.

A friend of mine was visiting me and said, "how crazy are you, working until midnight in this icy basement"...Bavarian winter nights can be really ugly😂

But it was worth every second until now.

Hope we will all together change this slavery Fiat world into a equal & free one😌

Thanks to all of you for your response. Will sort things out the next days with reservations.

Please name 2 or 3 numbers if possible for the case the wished one isn't available anymore. There's only 21 and colours are very limited to numbers.

Please check @ItokawaTimebank on Twitter for pics and Videos.

Colours are different in real. The Claret violet for example looks just crazy in hand but is hard to photograph.

Back to the Satoshi workshop... See you😌

ITOKAWA TIMEBANK


Finally after nearly 1,5 years i`m happy to release it here on the Forum. First of all...i`m just a little slave to Bitcoin, serving and dedicating all my work and passion to this creation that came amongst us 14 years ago.

I tried to find a way to express the most important things for me in Bitcoin. The halvings and the lightning network as layer 2 solution.

That`s why i chose to pour 4 half fine silver balls symbolizing the coming halving and the lightning symbol. The silver balls are made out of Kangaroo fine silver 1 oz coins. After rolling, cutting them into pieces and pouring them into graphite, i glowed and hardended them 2 times and brought them into form before i was able to grind and polish them. The silver and the Resin lightning are poured in 3 layers of Resin. The Priv key is generated offline with a brandnew Raspi 4 through BitcoinCore and got offline lasered on stainless steel which is covered by the security hologram. Additionally i poured the holo and the fine silver number plate on the back with Resin and grinded/polished it. That means you have to destroy the wallet to get access to the priv key.

The total amount of fine silver is a little over 3.125 ozt Wink, the coming block award and the load value will be 0.003125 BTC

The orange Box is made out of local beech wood and is coloured in Hex #F2A900/Pantone 144. It keeps closed perfectly with fitting magnets on the inner side of the box


Every wallet takes around 50 hours to be finished. The Resin lightning bolt and every silver ball alone take 3 hours to produce. I finished 6 until now. There are 2 transparent wallets and 6 different colour variations. 21 wallets numbered from #01 to #21 and 5 Ap`s. All the people who reserved in front through Bitcointalk, Twitter and Instagram will be contacted the coming days to check if they are interested. No worries. I have you on my list Wink. Please get in touch and let me know your favourite # or colour and i`ll try to get it reserved for you. Price is 0.0375 Btc plus load value... Edited on 11th of January when 1st reserved wallets got sent out. 4 will be auctioned here. I think somewhere around February or March


#01 Luminous green - reserved
#02 Deep black - reserved
#03 Leaf green - will be auctioned in mid February
#04 Sky blue - reserved
#05 Transparent - reserved
#06 Claret violet - reserved
#07 Titanium white - reserved
#08 Deep black - reserved
#09 Luminous green - reserved
#10 Deep black - reserved
#11 Titanium white - reserved
#12 Sky blue - reserved
#13 Titanium white - reserved
#14 Sky blue - reserved
#15 Titanium white - reserved
#16 Claret violet - will be auctioned in mid February
#17 Titanium white + 14k gold number plate on the back - will be auctioned in mid February
#18 Sky blue - reserved
#19 Luminous green - reserved
#20 Transparent - reserved
#21 Luminous green - reserved


I add a few pics here, but Resin is really hard to photograph






















May Satoshi be with us. All the best from here for 2023, stay healthy and happy Cheesy....and sorry for my bad english Roll Eyes
